Microsoft Flight Simulator Preview: A Stunningly Detailed Aviation Simulation
I don't think I've ever been as impressed by any technology as much as I was by Microsoft's upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator (which is coming to Xbox One for the first time, in addition to its usual PC release). It's astonishing in its commitment to realism, and the implementation is clever, extraordinarily technical, and completely blew me away.
I was lucky enough to experience the sim at the Worldwide Flight Simulator Press Event, held at the offices of Rainier Air at the Renton Municipal Airport just outside Seattle. The city of Renton is an aviation city, home of the Boeing manufacturing plant responsible for the 737 airliner. Sitting on the edge of Lake Washington, the woodlands give way to massive hangars and aircraft in various states of completion. The airfield where I got to learn about and play Flight Simulator is the first strip of tarmac the 737's taste before they take to the sky to be delivered to customers around the globe.

Frozen 2: Details on the Disney Sequel’s New Songs
Some spoilers ahead for Frozen 2!
Six years ago Disney Animation Studios gambled on Frozen, a computer-animated retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Snow Queen. The female-focused princess story was risky because it countermined many of the tropes that Disney itself had so successfully established, yet it proved a cultural phenomenon and became the highest-grossing animated movie of all time, scoring an Oscar for Best Song to boot.
How The King’s Man Launches an Ambitious New Kingsman Timeline
“I wanted to do something different,” explains Matthew Vaughn on the set of The King’s Man. “When I was a kid, films like Lawrence of Arabia filled the screen and were epic but not boring. And I was thinking that I want to bring back that genre."
It’s April 2019, and Vaughn is in an office at a soundstage on the outskirts of Turin, somewhat frazzled as it’s Day 67 of a 75-day shoot. But the writer-director is also excited to share details of the new direction in which the Kingsman franchise is going. Because where 2014’s Secret Service and 2017’s Golden Circle were contemporary stories – featuring cutting edge action and futuristic technology – this new installment journeys back more than a century, to detail the origins of the world’s first independent spy organization.

Batwoman Stunts Nearly Paralyze Star Ruby Rose
Batwoman star Ruby Rose took to Instagram ahead of her show's October 6 premiere to share with fans a video of herself undergoing emergency back surgery.
